Simply Scrummy (surprising) Mayonnaise Cake

7oz Vegan Mayonnaise
10oz Self Raising Flour
2tsp Baking Powder
3tblsp Cocoa Powder
7oz Sugar
Tepid water to mix

Filling:
Icing Sugar
Butter
Cocoa Powder

Topping:
Plain Chocolate & Chocolate Curls

Line a greased deep cake tin. In a bowl mix together all the ingredients - for the cake. Yep, beat them hard! Adding the water a little at a time until it has a nice sponge cakey consistency. Bung it in the oven for 45mins at 175F and voila, a neat rich chocolate cake. Beat the icing sugar, butter and cocoa powder ingredients for the filling and spread upon the cooled cake which has been cut in half. Melt the chocolate and pour on the cake top, add chocolate curls for cuteness when set.

Its easy, tasty and looks surprisingly hard work. PS you can't taste the mayonnaise at all. Unless you accidently use a flavoured one.


For variation of flavour...

Try substituting the cocoa powder for lemon zest and use lemon flavoured mayonnaise. Nice, eh?

Maybe use ground coffee mixed with a little water and add walnuts too!

Use your imagination and go wild.
